W.A.S.P. Announce the 1984 To Headless 2026 Tour with KK’s Priest
W.A.S.P. is excited to announce the 1984 To Headless 2026 North American Tour with KK’s Priest as very special guest. The tour kicks off on September 10 in CA and runs through October 31st. W.A.S.P. will be playing the hits from their first four albums.
1984 To Headless, the Fall 2026 North American Tour, W.A.S.P. returns playing live in North America, paying tribute to their first four albums… live! Selected hits from W.A.S.P.’s first four albums promise to create a true rock ‘n’ roll spectacle, complete with a live stage show bringing those albums alive for the first… and only time. The first five years of artist’s careers most always determine what their legacy will be if they go on to greatness, or be remembered as a footnote in music history.
W.A.S.P. cemented their place in the rock history in those first five years with their self-titled first album in 1984, followed the next year with The Last Command, Inside the Electric Circus in 1987, and capped with the their greatest yet, The Headless Children, in 1989. In their fabled 44 year history, W.A.S.P. have been pioneers of shock rock, psycho drama, and live spectacles that are now legendary in the world of rock.
“It’s hard to express the genuine excitement I’m feeling in describing the “1984 To Headless” North American Tour. Playing those songs from those first four albums in a combined package like this is something we’ve never attempted before. In addition to the songs, the entire stage show will look like the album covers from those records will come alive… right right before your eyes! Complete with all the history and bombastic live presentations that’s made this band one of the great live bands in the theatrical rock world. When elements of those album covers start to come alive, right on the stage before the people, it’s gonna be something they’ll not soon forget! I’m also equally thrilled to bring K.K.’s Priest and those iconic hit’s onboard for all the Fall 2026 US shows. Both bands… together… on the same stage… on the same night… where do I get my ticket? It’s gonna make the “1984 To Headless” tour one for the rock ages”!” — Blackie Lawless

About W.A.S.P.
Few bands in the history of rock ‘n’ roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles, California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these winged assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of shock and rock caused religious organizations, local city councils, parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.
The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social, and political commentary took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for four decades.
